I greet you all in the wonderfull name of the Now coming King Jesus Christ.
Indeed spiritual readiness is a requirement to every believer of Christ.
Let me add to this please and i believe it is my Counselor Holy Spirit guiding me. I think many Christians and even the so called born-again will be left at the rapture to be cleansed by tribulation because of a very big mistake. The word of the Lord says,"MY PEOPLE PERISH BECAUSE OF LACK OF KNOWLEDGE". As i posted earlier it does not matter whether you have been in salvation for how many years, it is the end that matters, until we finish the race we are not yet there my friends. OK WE MAY CLAIM TO BE BORN AGAIN, BUT ARE WE CARRYING OUR CROSS DAILY AND FOLLOWING JESUS AND IS OUR WALKING WORTHY OF HIM? In the book of Revelation when Christ spoke to the seven Churches He repeats many a times that only OVERCOMES will be accounted worthy. BUT today many Christians have capitalised the term i am saved and i am going to Heaven by the way which is very true BUT have you thought of a backslider or someone who is falling away from salvation gradually? Yes some are backsliding but they still claim i am saved, some are leaving an unholy life and still claim they are saved. AS SOMEONE gave an example earlier about school fees, someone may pay for your school fees BUT he cannot again study for you let us CALL A SPADE A SPADE AND NOT A BIG SPOON. You have to work hard lest you fail. Christ said if anyone loves his father, mother, brother, sister or even his life more than Christ is not worthy of him.
 
LET US GET AWAY FROM MAN MADE STORIES AND BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE WHAT IS COMING ONTO THE FACE OF THE EARTH BY BEING WORTHY OF CHRIST. LET US TAKE OUR CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM DAILY AND I BELIEVE IT IS NOT EASY AS MANY OF US THINK , LET US NOT MISUSE GOD'S GRACE AND LET US NOT TRAMPLE ON THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.
LOOK AT THIS ONE, you may not believe on this BUT this is a reality.
 
THE FOLLOWING FOUR THINGS ARE IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE AND  OUR LORD spoke to someone about them to warn all flesh.
 
1. WITHOUT SALVATION NO ONE SHALL ENTER HEAVEN.
 
2.WITHOUT FORGIVENESS, BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIANS WILL NOT ENTER HEAVEN.
 
3.A BELIEVER SHOULD TITHE FAITHFULL, Tithe is for the house of the Lord.
 
4. A BELIEVE SHOULD FULFILL THE VOWS HE MAKES TO  THE LORD. IT IS BETTER NOT TO VOW, THAN VOW AND NOT PAY. GOD IS NOT INTERESTED IN FOOLS.
 
Let every believer waiting for OUR LORD to think about all this AND THIS IS EQUAL TO SPIRITUAL READINESS.
 
AMEN AND MAY OUR LORD COME. YOU are free to comment.
